The new S1000RR will also have a counter rotating crank and more HP obviously.
There will be plenty of V4R bikes to be had only a small percentage of hardcore guys buy R bikes. BMW has a huge following they will sell a good amount of 2019 S1000RR's. And their base model will cost less than a V4 Base.

The R engine is going to be f*cking bat shit crazy, period. It'll be a MotoGP engine on the road.

But you will get a very standard machine built around the exceptional engine....... all for £40k to comply with WSBK rules...... + optional magnesium wheels, £3.5 k, + exhaust, £5k, + optional carbon kit £1.5k......... etc.

To get the bike Ducati have in mind it will be well upwards of that £40k figure
